Known forcocktail barFrench QuarterhistoricSazerac
Named after Antoine Amédée Peychaud, the apothecary who invented the Sazerac and the bitters that bear his name, this bar on Royal Street is a love letter to New Orleans cocktail history. The Sazerac here is impeccably made, and the menu celebrates classic New Orleans drinks with genuine craft. The space is handsome and historically evocative without feeling like a museum. It sits in the tourist corridor but attracts plenty of locals who appreciate the quality.
